I first tried to quit smoking at 21. Didn't succeed until I was 27! For half a year. Then I smoked until 32! Quit until 36! A little over three years. Picked it up again 3 months ago, now desperately a pack a day addicted again, with a toddler who I won't smoke in front of, yet. But today I have a patch on and I'm going to order peppermint lollipops here in a sec.
Thing is, I have 6 hours of class and 4 hours of tutoring tomorrow.
Seems like a REALLY bad time to quit...the stress of it all...
I may get up in the morning and run down the block and back. I will probably buy two packs of gum and mints. I will definitely put on a patch. Can anyone think of anything else that may help me? From things to do with my hands to mantras to tell myself, I am very much wanting to hear anything!
Can you believe I am in a NURSING program and picked up smoking again? Evil little things, "give you nothing and rob you of everything." That is right.
